Live comments

  • 0' - In just a few seconds Ahmed bin Ali Stadium will turn into a battlefield for Japan and Costa Rica.
  • 5' - Japan seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 10' - Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Costa Rica needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 15' - Japan is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 20' - Costa Rica started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 20.
  • 25' - The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Keysher Fuller suffering a number of foals already.
  • 30' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Yuki Soma, as he is very good at scoring at Ahmed bin Ali Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 35' - Costa Rica looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Keysher Fuller scoring 1 goals.
  • 40' - While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Costa Rica winning 100% of all matches.

  • 46' - It is a substitution in Japan team. Ayase Ueda is replaced by Takuma Asano on 46 minute.
  • 51' - Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
